Different browsers have different default styles for tags. For
instance, IE and Moz put 8px margin on the body, Opera puts 8px padding.
If you have a gap or misalignment and are trying to figure out where it
is coming from, it is often helpful to put borders or backgrounds on the
affected elements (or all elements) to see which one has the gap, if it
is internal or external to the element, etc. There are a number of
bookmarklets that can do this for you as well, though I tend to just do
it by hand when the need arises, so I can't recommend a particular one.
I do use the Web Development Toolbar, which has a handy outlining feature.
